Flowers for Women’s Day or a birthday are expected, but flowers for no reason are the ones remembered. They say ‘I’m thinking of you’ without any date on the calendar. Here is when to give flowers just because, which bouquet to choose, what to write on the card and how to surprise her even from work or another city.
On a holiday flowers are part of the ritual; for no reason they are a personal gesture. They show you notice her beyond the calendar, which is why they bring the most genuine joy.
Many men do not give flowers more often out of uncertainty rather than indifference. Common reasons and fixes: why men don’t give flowers.
When to give flowers just because
After a hard day, an exam or a tough project, as a sign of support. On Friday evening, to start the weekend happily.
In the morning, delivered to her office: colleagues will notice and she will smile all day. Seasonal excuses: first snow, the first spring tulips or peony season in June.
After an argument flowers do not replace a conversation, but they help take the first step towards making up.
Which bouquet to choose
A just-because bouquet need not be big: 3–7 stems of her favourite flower or colour, or a small seasonal bunch, says more than 101 roses. How many to give: our guide for men.
Seasonal flowers are fresher and cheaper: tulips and daffodils in spring, peonies in early summer, chrysanthemums and asters in autumn. See seasonal flowers by month.
Boxed flowers or a small potted plant work well if she does not like changing vase water daily. Price guides: a bouquet for any budget.
What to write on the card
Short and simple: ‘Just because. Because I have you’, ‘To brighten your day’, ‘Thinking of you’, ‘Thank you for being here’. More ideas in what to write on a flower card.
How to make it a surprise
Order delivery to her office or home and mark it as a surprise: the courier will not say what it is and will hand it over personally.
If buying yourself, use the cheat sheet 7 questions to ask a florist to get a fresh bouquet without overspending.
